Radio Show #595: The Vital Role of Parents and Carers Communities

Guest: Sophie Allington, Head of People Operational Excellence, Ocado Group

Sophie leads a team of HR Product Experts focused on HR tooling and global HR and Finance processes, as well as governance, compliance, and risk.

With a background in Talent Acquisition and HR transformation, Sophie has led large teams across the public and private sectors. She is passionate about workplace equity and chairs Ocado’s Parents and Carers Community.

Join us as we discuss the vital role that parents and carers communities play within corporate environments, not just as support networks, but as influential voices in shaping policies and workplace culture.

Sophie will share her experience of negotiating the balance between influencing formal policy change and simply “doing the right thing.” Drawing from her experience chairing Ocado’s Parents and Carers Committee, she’ll discuss where they have seen the most impact from events, what they have heard from the voices in their community, and where they have seen challenges.
